Round 8 - EUTender Master Tourney - Slav defense
In round 8 of the EUTender Master Tourney I played with the Hungarian FIDE-Master Peter Zentai.
He played the g3, Bg2 setup against the Slav defense and got a small edge, but he played too slowly and allowed me to play the e6-e5 break to equalize. Later he played f2-f4 ro let his e-pawn backward and also his a-pawn became weak. I was able to win a pawn and convert it in the endgame:
